Properties Near 143 Hillwinds Road Brattleboro, VT

Beautifully sited on 1.9 acres just off Greenhill Parkway, this tastefully modernized 1940s cape blends architectural pedigree with thoughtful, high end updates. Designed by noted architect James Britton of Greenfield, MA - a contemporary of Royal Barry Wills and long admired for his classic New England forms - the home retains its classic original character, while offering a fully refreshed interior. The 4 BR, 3 BA layout includes a full width living room with wood burning fireplace, a handsome dining room with built-in corner cabinets and a massive, x-pane window overlooking the backyard. The kitchen is a standout, featuring Crown Point beaded frame cabinetry, heated encaustic tile floors, Zellige tile walls, a Liebherr refrigerator, Miele propane cooktop, KitchenAid double ovens, and a custom Pella hydraulic lift awning window - ideal for outdoor entertaining. Rounding out the first floor is a beautifully executed mudroom/laundry created between the kitchen and attached 2 car garage, a private and comfortable den, a spacious formal entry hall, and updated powder room. All bathrooms have been fully renovated with Waterworks fixtures and Toto washlet toilets; two with custom tile showers, heated tile floors, and Visual Comfort lighting. A spacious suite above the garage offers flexibility for a primary bedroom or in law arrangement, offering new solid oak flooring, a walk-in closet, and a decadent bathroom with soaking tub and separate shower. The location is exceptional, being an easy walk to downtown and the park, and privately tucked into an unusually large lot; and with unique, direct access to over 9 miles of trails via a path along the lower edge of the property. A rare combination of history, craftsmanship, and modern comfort in one of Brattleboro’s most desirable neighborhoods. The home also comes with original 1944 blueprints and historical materials from the Norton family; the property’s first owners.

Welcome to Hillwinds and this lovely colonial. With 200 acres of conserved land and trails behind and a wonderful meadow view in the front, this house truly feels a part of the landscape. The main house has four bedrooms and two and a half baths and invites you to step right into your new life in this well cared for and lovingly maintained home. The gardens are in, the drive paved and the garden shed with power is standing ready. The sweet sun room is a nice addition to the living area, just off the kitchen/family room so a great place to expand when entertaining in the warmer months. It overlooks the very peaceful conservancy and is a special place for a quiet read or fun games in the rain. No worries of power outages here with both a gas generator and the new Tesla Powerwall! Above the garage is a versatile space that can be used as a studio, guest room, mother-in-law suite, or a study boasting a mini-split, refrigerator, and three-quarter bath. Enjoy the fire pit in the evening, under the stars. Watch the bluebirds at the birdhouses as they raise their families, the chipmunks that scurry, and the turkeys in the meadow. This is a wonderful neighborhood. Make it yours. Open house Saturday, April 11th 11am - 1pm
